-The mind is gradually narrowed and stiffened. There are two ways to get rid of this.
One is to forgive those who have hurt you.
Forgive yourself for being so easily hurt.
Forgive yourself for not being able to forgive others.
-What happens to you is 100% your responsibility.
-Life should be interesting and fun.
-Say, “It’s fine the way it is,” because it’s easier for the other person.
-If you live and work in your own way, you will be successful.
-Don’t blame others for their shortcomings.
-Everyone has something good in him or her.
-You have to make it fun.
-To get through the discipline of marriage, you must first have absolutely no expectations of your partner,
And never try to change the other person. These are the only two things.
Marriage is better than being unmarried.
-Not only marriages, but all relationships are a practice of “not expecting the other person to change, and not trying to change the other person. There is no end to the relationship if you are both saying “I am right and the other person is wrong. If we want to improve our relationships, we have no choice but to change ourselves rather than to change the other person.
-You are lucky to be born as a human being.
-If you hate yourself, you can’t move out, so you have to love yourself.
-You just have to love yourself and respect yourself. You have to think, “I’m great.
-If you live your life belittling yourself, you’ll be in hell. People who look for faults in themselves will always look for faults in others.
-The worst thing you can do is to wish for what you don’t have.
-If you find someone you are not compatible with, look for what you don’t like about that person in yourself. It is an opportunity to enlarge your vessel.
-If you are happy with any event in the past, you are happy now. Happiness in the present makes for happiness in the future.
-Just being alive is not life. It is a life that is lived joyfully.
-As long as you are alive, learn, learn, learn, and then pass on what you have learned to others and return to the home of your soul.
-You never know when you, the other person, or the person in front of you will die. Just thinking about that is enough for a person to return to the path of love in a sane way.
-You don’t have to live a great life. If you have something extra, it will only be baggage.
-There’s no moon for people who can’t stand if they’re not perfect, or for people who will always regret their mistakes.
-The more you use your head, the more it spins. Good ideas are enhanced by teaching them to everyone.
-The best ideas are proportional to the quality and quantity of material packed into a person’s brain.
-Take care of the people in front of you and do what makes them happy. This is the only secret to happiness.
-Are the words you are speaking attractive? Are your actions attractive?
-Listen carefully. Listen carefully. Then think about what you are going to do.
-The purpose of human life is to give love. It is bad manners to keep taking without giving.
-If you are giving for the sake of everyone, what you give will come back to you. You are doing it for everyone else, but it is actually for yourself as well.
-The person who is winning in spirit is the person who thinks, “I am happy,” no matter what situation he or she is in.
-When you teach someone, praise is the basic principle. Love is at the root of it.
-We you can rejoice with others because you are open-minded.
